Prove to be false (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rebut

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">prove to be false</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for rebut that I've seen before include "explode" , "Prove the claim wrong" , "Prove to be false or incorrect" , "Contradict or disprove" , "Overturn" .)

I've seen this clue in the Family Time, the Sydney Morning Herald, The Times, the USA Today, The Wall Street Journal, The Guardian, the Universal, the Newsday.com and the Irish Times (Simplex).
